Woman Sues Cops Over 2018 Arrest After Car Crash: Patch PM

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Just one week ago, the entire region was basking in temperatures in the 60s — but we've since crashed back into winter, with much of the region stuck in the frigid 30s this Monday. It'll be more of the same this week, with temperatures struggling into the low 40s by Friday.

In Marlborough, the city and three officers have been sued by a North Brookfield woman over a 2018 arrest. The woman says in a lawsuit that she crashed while having a seizure, and was then held at gunpoint by an officer who later used excessive force during her arrest.
